Pre-session - Foresight Wednesday

A signal of a possible change - is something that is already happening today, but which can be a clue for the future - if we only listen carefully enough. The next step is to ask ourselves questions such as: "What kind of change does this signal represent?" What direction does it take us?” and "What trend or larger phenomenon is driving us in that direction?" Signal plus drive equals foresight. Foresight is an approach that gives us the power to help shape the future – and not just let it happen. It's not about predicting the future, no one can do that! It is about working with scenarios about the future based on the signals we see and the knowledge we have today. With their help, we can make more informed decisions.
